Updated in 2016, this Memorandum of Agreement between FEMA and EPA:
- Sets up coordination of activities between EPA's sustainable communities, smart growth, environmental, and community technical assistance programs and FEMA's disaster recovery planning and hazard mitigation programs.
- Seeks to provide lessons learned for EPA, FEMA, and other federal agencies that can be used to build a stronger federal framework for mitigation planning as well as pre- and post-disaster recovery planning and operations.
- Seeks to provide a collaborative framework for policy work related to both hazard mitigation planning and climate change adaptation to create more resilient communities.
